Abstract: This small study reveals the value of story writing as a pedagogical technique in environmental education. The qualitative research conducted in 2020 examines 14 Indian children's place-ecological meaning as expressed in the story books they authored. Thematic analysis of the story books, interviews, journals, creative writing assignments & group discussion revealed that the children's outdoor nature experiences shaped their place-ecological meaning and inspired a striking critique of the necropolitical-geontopolitical Anthropocene regime in local contexts. Children's sense of marginalization forged empathy with the more--than-human, fostering feelings collective identities and resistance, despite muted agency. The research emphasizes that environmental education program should not only build awareness and conscientization among participants but also provide opportunities for expression of meaning-making. The significance of the research lies in it bringing children's voices to the fore as they attempt to examine the Anthropocene from their experiences of local ecologies and places in Chennai, India.
